Looks like the issue me and Chris had in our unit...even having a herd coming within rifle range of camp every morning

I like 13, 6 and 5...
And the last batch of photos-
I passed on a lot of bucks that'd score higher than this one, but I just couldn't pull the trigger until I absolutely had to. I kept holding on hope that the next draw would hold "The One". "The One" became a running joke, but I think I found it a lot funnier than my wife did. Every buck sighting would end with something along the lines of "he's a giant, but not "The One"".
Field judging these things is incredibly difficult. After seeing my buck on the ground though, I don't know if I saw an 80"er or not on this hunt. Tons and tons of mature bucks but never that no doubter.
Still an unbelievable hunt, and I'm glad I held off on applying until I could hunt one of these glory units once. Now that I have, I don't think I'll wait again and will probably burn my points every couple years. The access and amount of pronghorn was amazing, but I don't think there's that much better trophy potential in these hard to draw areas.
Just about the most fun a guy could expect in a week of road hunting.

Had a good time on my last day there watching this A-hole fly around and buzz every herd of pronghorn in the area. I assume he was scouting for a tagholder. Multiple times he flew into herds that I was obviously checking out, and after a few hours of him being in the air all the pronghorn in the area were on edge and on the run. I've never had a run in with a chute plane before, but put me firmly in the against camp if this is standard operating procedure for them.

Man, what a great hunt, Randy. Great thread made for some enjoyable reading as well. Great old roman-nosed buck you shot. Cool goat and I'll be lucky to find something close to that size on my goat rope in NW Colorado this weekend.
